well megan one of the loudest arguments against treating her knife as an enemy come combatant is of course the fact that people have been saying guys that we have to keep in mind that we're talking about a u.s. citizen who committed a crime on u.s. soil and involving americans and the largest the biggest argument that legal experts are using is basically if this happens if this person is tried in a military tribunals that would set a major president basically allowing officials to try americans like this and certainly that is something that has been raising lots of eyebrows and you know as we know of course the white house has opted against that option and meanwhile in a fast here the t.s.a. announced today that it will hold off on a planned policy change to allow small knives on airplanes airplanes they were going to allow people to start carrying knives of less than two point five inches long could this be because of the boston marathon bombings is there any connection between the two. well law you know it's hard to say whether there is a direct link in this particular case you like you
